Stacking Design
 Determine which vertical cellular stacking design you are installing: left
stack or right stack.
 If a sliding glass door opens from the right side, a left stack design is best. If
the door opens from the left side, a right stack design is best.
Valance Types
 Determine the type of valance you are installing with your shade: aluminum or traditional.
Installation Brackets Required
 The number of installation brackets required varies with headrail width, as shown
in the table.
Next Step
 Refer to the page below based on your shade mounting type:
 Outside Mount — Below
 Inside/Ceiling Mount — Page 12
Outside Mounts
Mount the Installation Brackets
 Center the headrail over the window opening at
the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly mark
each end of the headrail.
 Alternatively, measure the width of the
headrail and use that width to mark the
headrail end points.
 Mark end bracket locations 8" in from each end of the headrail.
 Mark the locations of any additional brackets, spaced evenly between the two end brackets. Mount into wood whenever possible.

 Determine where to place the top of the installation brackets.
 Add the desired floor clearance to the ordered height of the shade. The ordered height can
be found on the packaging label. A minimum of
1
⁄ 2 " floor clearance is recommended.
 Measure the total distance up from the floor. This is where to place the top of the installation brackets.
 A minimum flat vertical surface of 1
1
⁄ 4 " is required to mount the brackets.
CAUTION: The rear of the brackets must be flush against a flat mounting surface. Do not
mount brackets on curved molding.
 Center the brackets on your marks and mark the screw holes.
 When using extension brackets, mark two screw holes
per bracket.
 Drill the screw holes using a
3
⁄ 32 " drill bit.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall. Use
the drill bit size recommended by the manufacturer.
 Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the brackets must be level and
aligned to each other.
 If using extension brackets, attach an installation bracket to the underside of each extension
bracket using the provided screws and speed nuts.
 If using spacer blocks, first attach the installation bracket to the
1
⁄ 2 " spacer block before stacking additional
spacer blocks or shims together.
 Insert the legs of the installation bracket into the tabs on the spacer block.
 Then rotate the installation bracket back.
 Use a maximum of three spacer blocks (1
1
⁄ 2 ") per installation bracket.

 Attach the spacer blocks and installation brackets with #6 hex head mounting screws long
enough for a secure installation. (See chart below.) Longer screws are not provided.
 The top of the spacer blocks should be at the desired shade height.
 The front edges of the installation brackets must be level and aligned to each other.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
CAUTION: The rear of the spacer blocks must be flush against a flat surface. Do not mount
spacer blocks and installation brackets on curved molding.
IMPORTANT: The provided 1
1
⁄ 2 " screws can only be used with a maximum of one
1
⁄ 8 " shim. You
will need to supply longer screws if additional clearance is required.
A minimum 1
1
⁄ 4 " length of screw threads must extend beyond the last spacer block or shim. Use
appropriate wall anchors when mounting into drywall.
Mount the Headrail
NOTE: A left stack design is shown throughout these
instructions. Procedures for a right stack design are the
same but at opposite sides of the fabric stack and headrail.
 First, remove the moving rail brackets from the headrail.
 Remove the end plate from the left end of the
headrail.
 Slide out the moving rail brackets.
 Do not remove the cord tensioners from the
headrail.
 Without reattaching the end plate, mount the headrail.
 Carefully align the headrail with the end marks on the mounting surface. (Headrail position cannot be easily adjusted after
the headrail is mounted.)
 Place the front groove on the headrail onto the front lip of the installation brackets.
 Rotate the rear of the headrail up and push back until the headrail snaps in place.

Prepare the Fabric Stack
At the top of the fabric stack, a stationary rail bracket will be installed into the stationary rail and the moving rail bracket will be
installed into the moving rail. In addition, a stationary rail bottom bracket will be installed into the bottom of the stationary rail.
 Insert the stationary rail bracket into the vertical rail on the side where the fabric stacks.
 The bracket fits into the grooves on the rear of the vertical rail.
 Insert the bracket until it is seated and the bracket catch snaps into the hole on the back of the rail. Check that the bracket
catch is fully engaged.
 Insert the moving rail bracket into the moving rail.
 Like the stationary rail bracket, the moving rail bracket fits into the grooves on the rear of the rail.
 Insert the bracket until the bracket catch snaps into the hole on the back of the rail. Check that the bracket catch is fully engaged.

 Insert the stationary rail bottom bracket into the bottom of the stationary rail.
 The bracket fits into grooves at the bottom of the rail.
 Insert the bracket with the mounting flanges to the back, away from the fabric stack as shown in the photos. Do not seat
the bracket; about
1
⁄ 4 " should extend from the rail.
 After inserting the bracket, peel off the red label.
Install the Rails and Fabric Stack into the Headrail
 Review the diagram at right to familiarize yourself with where the moving rail
rollers and fabric carrier wheels fit inside the headrail.
 Insert the moving rail bracket part way into the rear of the headrail.
 Allow the bracket to move all the way into the headrail as you install the fabric
carrier wheels.
 Insert the moving rail bracket from the left side for a left stack design or from the
right side for a right stack design.
 Insert the fabric carrier wheels into the headrail. (Unwrap a small amount of cord from the orange cord organizer if you need
more slack.)
 The wheels with clear stems fit into the rear channel and the wheels with black stems into the front channel.
NOTE: The fabric carrier wheels only fit into the rail the correct way; it is not possible to install them into the wrong channel.

 Slide the moving rail bracket and fabric carriers far enough into the headrail to hook the stationary rail bracket in place
 Tilt the bottom of the stationary rail toward you and hook the bracket to the headrail as illustrated.
 Allow the stationary rail to hang freely.
 Reattach the end plate onto the stacking end of the headrail. Use the same two small
screws that were removed earlier.
 Move the stationary rail flush with the end plate.
NOTE: To move the stationary rail bracket, pull the bottom of the rail into the room
slightly before sliding the bracket.
 Attach the stationary rail bottom bracket. The bracket may be attached to the wall or
floor. In most cases, to avoid drilling into the floor it is attached to the wall.
 Level the stationary rail front to back and side to side.
 Attach the stationary rail bottom bracket using the screw provided.
 If you used spacer blocks or extension brackets with the installation brackets, use an
extension bracket to mount the stationary rail away from the wall.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.

 Secure the stationary rail bracket using the provided small screw. Hold the bracket in
place and screw through either of the two holes on the bracket.
NOTE: Two #8 x
3
⁄ 8 " pan head screws are provided; one is a spare.
Position the Cords and Set Cord Tension
 Unwrap the cord from the orange cord organizer.
 Remove any twists by running a finger between the two cords.
 Note that both ends of the cords have a washer to prevent the cords from slipping into the vertical rail.
 Study the cording diagram below. The cords are connected to the end plate that is opposite the fabric stack. (In the illustration,
the two cords are shaded differently to make the routing easier to follow.)
 One of the ends with washer is anchored to the end plate at the first slot from the rear.
 The washer on the other cord is trimmed off and the end is tied to the cord tensioner. Then that cord is looped around the
second slot from the rear.
IMPORTANT: The top of the looped cord must be the portion of the cord coming from the cord tensioner.
